Pimpinela Escarlata faces expulsion calls after threatening Manelyk González

Professional wrestler Mario González Lozano, known as Pimpinela Escarlata, has sparked controversy on the reality show ‘La Granja VIP’ after making threats against fellow participant Manelyk González.

During a conversation with Niurka Marcos and Natalia Alcocer on October 14, Pimpinela Escarlata stated that if his elimination from the competition were inevitable, he would use a knife to disfigure Manelyk González's face for the rest of her life. The comments were captured on video and circulated widely on social media platforms like X.

The incident has led to widespread indignation among viewers, with many calling for his immediate expulsion from the TV Azteca production. Some critics have labeled the remarks as gender-based violence and have questioned the safety protocols and management of the show. As of the latest reports, the production has not announced any official sanctions regarding the incident.
